Harry & Meghan tease MORE ‘faux royal’ tours in their diary as they heap praise on ‘memorable and special’ Nigeria visit
PRINCE Harry has hinted at more “faux Royal” tours after heaping praise on a “memorable” trip to Nigeria.
The Sussexes spent three days touring the West African nation last week.
After visits to a warzone and Meghan claiming Nigeria as “my country” – Harry said there is “only so much” he and his wife can do “over Zoom”.
The Duke told PEOPLE Magazine: “We look forward to travelling more because the work matters.
“Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work.”
Harry also praised Africa – where he is involved in conservation and outreach charities – as a “very, very special place”.
The Duke added: “You know what Africa means to me over the years.
“To be able to include Nigeria now [in Invictus], I’m very happy.”
The pair touched down in the Nigerian capital Abuja on Friday to promote the 2025 Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada.
The event – which sees injured servicemen and women compete in a range of athletics events – was founded by Prince Harry and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
The Sussexes began their “faux-Royal tour” with a visit to Lightway Academy, a primary and secondary school in the capital.
They were greeted by traditional dancers and met some of the primary schoolchildren.
Meghan later revealed dancing was Lilibet’s favourite class, adding: “Maybe it’s all the jumping around.”
In 2023, The Archewell Foundation supported girls’ education and health in Nigeria, sending school supplies and menstrual products to 2,500 girls in the region.
